Trivia/Info
- A cover of "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)" by Raspberries.
- This song's inclusion on The World Is To Dig was first confirmed by John Linnell in an interview for the 2025 They Might Be Playing They Might Be Giants radio marathon on November 14, 2025. Days later in an interview with Cleveland.com, he said:[1]
We thought it was particularly hilarious and ironic for us to be covering [Overnight Sensation] because we’ve never really had a big hit in the U.S., and obviously there's no risk of us becoming an overnight sensation. But I just love that song so much, and we thought we could do a good version.
- On September 11, 2025 a short clip was uploaded to the band’s social medias of Linnell playing a Jenco celesta[2] for the track.
- This song debuted on the Dial-A-Song 844 phone service on February 24, 2026 at midnight ET, but it was removed by the morning.
